What is the term for the angle at which a joint can move?

Range of motion refers to the angle or distance through which a joint can move. It is a critical measure in assessing joint function and mobility, indicating the flexibility and health of the joint structure, including the surrounding soft tissues. Range of motion can be influenced by various factors such as age, physical activity level, and the presence of any pathologies or injuries.

Joint flexibility is a related concept but is more focused on the ability of muscles and tendons to stretch and allow movement at the joint, rather than the specific angle of movement capacity. Motion limit and agility range do not accurately represent the specific measurable aspect of how far a joint can move, as they may encompass broader or unrelated concepts in physical performance.
